Without it, though, they won’t.

22. But a quarter-billion dollars would be a good down payment on the creation of a media infrastructure that would:
*educate voters,
*speak to and learn from elected Dems,
*attack the GOP,
*provide professional networking,

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

If Democrats and liberals are constantly messaging it doesn’t allow right wing messages to dominate and in some cases it completely overwhelms them. People arguing that this is a hopeless case are giving a pass to Democrats and the wider left for not actually trying and that sucks.

Yesterday, a recount confirmed the defeat of the ballot measure that would have repealed ranked-choice voting and primaries in Alaska.
The recount increased the lead for opponents of repeal: the 'no' won by 743 votes (a margin of 0.24%).
Lots of this context on the measure in this great story:

a useful thing to ask is how specifically does a rule or regulation or order go from issuance to implementation. for instance, trump has said that he will issue an executive order denying birth certificates and SSNs to the children of undocumented immigrants. okay. what happens next?
